For the second straight night, Tim Thomas posted a shutout - a feat that has not been accomplished since Andy Moog in the early 90s (and really, any comparison to Moog is a compliment to a Bruins keeper).Thomas shut the door on the Canucks, stopping 30 shots, often making saves that nobody could have expected him to make.
Michael Ryder potted the game's only goal, on a nice shot while cruising through the high-slot. As you may have noticed, I like it when (ex-Hab) Ryder does well, because it really seems to aggravate the Habs fans I'm surrounded by.
The win brings the Bruins to 5-2-3, and affords them a day of rest before taking on the streaky Flames in Calgary on Thursday. That could be a tough game for the B's, as Calgary (when playing well) combines speed, grit and scoring with crazy goaltending.
Also of note in last night's game - Milan Lucic was presented with another Memorial Cup ring from his time as Captain (and MVP) of the Vancouver Giants. His original ring was stolen from his parent's house.

You lucky black and gold *aggots. The Canucks were about 10 seconds away from sh*tting all over your faces when the horn blew.
absolutely - but ten seconds from sh*tting on faces can make the difference in every game. just ask the canucks of 93-94.
but certainly, i'm not pretending that these 1-0 wins are blow outs. often the B's have to rely on cRaZy goaltending to even have a change.
sounds a little like the canucks, too, actually.
thx for the comment, paal.
Have patience, Paal. Give the mighty Bruins about two months, and they'll be sh*tting on their own faces.
that's what the bruins call "december-through-january". wait for it.
Why couldn't Paal say the word 'maggots' on this blog? I had a feeling there was an anti-legless larva bias around here.
As a Canucks fan I find it repulsive you didn't include in the score the number of goals the Canucks 'meant' to put in the net. As we all know the Canucks use the first three periods as warm-up before letting loose their cannons in the fourth. Please adjust your 'final score' accordingly. The Sedin brothers meant to get at least two each.
Also, I think this is an important time to ask 'Who is the real Joe Thornton?' Why hasn't this blog talked about his linemate from Sault Ste. Marie -- one William Ayers? I smell conspiracy and it smells -- I'll be the first to admit -- quite bad.
ha ha - there's so much going on in yr comment, i donno where to start.
but yr right, the canucks probably DID intend to pot a few each (emphasis on pot, as it is vancouver), but they still only intend to make it to the first round of the playoffs.
the real conspiracy here is that their goalie can't wear a C. or win me points in the hockey pool.
thanks for the comment, horseface. you look pretty to me.
you must be be tops in your hockey pool!
did you pick up yelle in the first round?
yeah. i actually really wanted to pick up gerber, but the pool doesn't let me take minor leaguers.
